There’s a big difference between saying that Israel is creating an apartheid state in the West Bank, vs Isreal controls the US government.
I think most people use influence and control interchangeably. Israel influence on western countries to make them silent against genocide and settler colonialism is a fact
anti-semites will use legitimate criticism of the state of Israel to mask their antisemitism
Islamophobic people will use legitimate opposition of ISIS to portray all Muslims are bloodthirsty. The point is yes everything could be weaponed by bigots . There are antisemitic people who will lie about Israel but it doesn’t mean every person even lying about Israel is antisemitic because Israel do not represent all jews .
The exact same dynamic applies to Saudi Arabia, where valid opposition to authoritarian governance is sometimes pushed to extremes, resulting in manufactured falsehoods and deliberate exaggerations
